So for what I can make out from all available pictures on Facebook, here are all 8 elemental abilites that you can tap.

WATER:
TWISTING TORRENT - Activate this technique when you take damage to cancel that damage.
TIDAL SURGE - Activate this technique on your turn to split your total movement roll before and after your action.

WIND:
EYE OF THE STORM - As an action, make one unarmed attack against all adjacent enemies. This technique enables you to attack diagonally.
SOARING DRAGON - Automatically succeed when jumping over a trap.

EARTH:
STRENGTH OF MOUNTAIN - Roll 2 additional Attack dice on an unarmed attack.
SPEAK WITH STONE - Search for secret doors and traps as one action.

FIRE:
BURNING SPIRIT - As an action, expel a beam of brillant energy from your soul's core. This beam may be straight or diagonal and continues until it meets a wall or closed door. Each enemy in the beam takes 2 Body Points of damage.
TOUCH OF ENDLESS INFERNO - As an action, inflict 1 Body Point of damage to any one adjacent enemy. The target takes an additional 2 Body Points of damage at the end of its next turn.

All said, these abilities are significantly impressive. And the notion that you can reactivate them once you're clear of view of monsters makes the monk really B.A. Yes, he won't advance naturally beyond 3 defense dice (which I thought was due to Bracers but it says he shuns armor, anyone have an explanation for that?), but with these abilities, he may not need more than that.

Apparently, Ash has a new Channel called ASHQUEST where he discusses physical games only and he has done a longer video about the "Monk" reveal.

https://youtu.be/_BzFTPj1rB8

Also, someone reported on Reddit that an AH employee stated that the monk will be available at all major retailers. Still no word on a release date.

Gladly. And now Facebook is trying to make a liar out of me because I can't find the second set of pictures I literally looked at all day yesterday.

Here's the one key photo we probably all saw, but some of the details are there on the obscured abilities:

Fortunately, though, it turns out Big Bad Toy Store has now done a review of the Monk set, and the main picture shows the obscured abilities, and I was dead on the money.

NOW I found the pictures I was looking at yesterday that I used to piece together the abilities we couldn't read.

And, here's the back of the bio card to acknowledge what the Monk can and can't use, which I feel some of the other character cards could have used for better clarity.

I'm still curious why he gets 3 defend naturally when he uses no armor.

Thanks for the updates everyone!

If someone can add the Facebook pics to this thread as attachments, it would be helpful to some. Thanks if possible guys.

Wow it's says Monk gets back ALL elements when they are exhausted if no monsters in LOS??? That's crazy. That pretty much means he can use them all on one turn being that some of them don't cost an action. That's a lot of utility. They're like the Five Deadly Venoms and a Terminator all in one!

The Using Elemental Styles card states that you choose ONE technique to use each turn, and then it is exhausted.
That means it will take a few turns to unlock the fire techniques, and then a few more turns again after everything is refreshed when no monsters are in LOS.
